Challenging Music Brings Out Group ' s Talent This is one of the best groups since I ' ve been here, slated Dr. David Music. He was referring to this year ' s Chamber Singers, the select mixed group that represented Cal Baptist throughout the stale at churches, conventions, and here on campus. The group this year was the largest in recent years, with seventeen singers. Mike Baldwin shared about the singers; We ' re a really tight-knit group. We ' ve also got a lot of talent this year. Having a larger group allows us to do some music we couldn ' t do with a smaller group, added Dr. Music. The closeness of the group has allowed them to do challenging work and have fun. I just love being in the group, recalled Lori Lothenore. I ' ll miss it when I graduate. Chrystal Pritchctt, Shaun Davis and DccAnn Guzman go over some of the group ' s repcliore.

Singers Invited to Germany for Bach Festival The 1988-89 year held many things in store for the College Singers. Numerous concerts, many rehearsals and lots of hard work made the group known on campus. The Singers performed Handel ' s Messiah in the fall, as well as presenting their own concert along with the Brass Ensemble. We sang pretty well, but there ' s always room for improvement, com- mented Mike Norton. Dr. Music, the director of College Singers, put them through their paces to create a well-balanced sound this year. The music we learned was challenging, but Dr. Music made learn- ing it fun, reported Corey Estel. One special opportunity that the group had was an invitation to sing at the Nuremberg Bach Festival this spring in Germany. Dr. Music commented, The invitation for College Singers to perform with other American college choirs in Germany is a good indication of the high standards of e choir and the choral program at Cal Baptist. 1 am proud of the fine work done by the group this year. 130 CXUBS ORGANIZATIONS i 1 Jennifer Roberta uid April CopUn wait backitage for their entrance with College Singera.
